I think it has more to do with the fact that Halloween falls on a Friday this year than my unlikely rise in popularity here in New York, but I've been invited to over five different Halloween parties, which is I think more Halloween parties than I've been invited to if you combined all the Halloween Parites I've been invited to between 1980-2007. And there's nothing like inviting Command D to a Halloween Party to get Command D excited about Halloween. In anticipation of the big event I bring the following and I invite you all to guess in the comments section as to which of the following will most likely be my Halloween 2008 costume.
1. Nothing -- and I mean NOTHING -- scares me more than zombies, but these guys are all show. Thank goodness.
2. Also scary, I guess... (thanks to Ben Leopold for this one)
3. If you're a girl you've got a vast and diverse list of choices for your Halloween costume.
4. Let's get a little more PG here for a minute.
5. That's a little too PG, how about PG-13? Stevesword says I have to ask you not to burn your house down.
6. And if you want to go that extra mile for your Halloween decorations, try this.
7. Everyone gets to dress up for Halloween.
8. Hey, they don't have to be embarrassed. These ones kick ass!
9. Perhaps this would work as a costume, but it would take some explaining. Better to just save the photos yourself. This one's "from" 1994.
10. Let's not get too carried away here. Rather, lets take a moment to really meditate on what death is.
Okay, now you get to guess what you think I'll be. Next time, I plan on tripping the light fantastic, so dust off your Dark Side of the Moon CD and roll out your luminescent, felt, mushroom poster and I'll see you next week.

Come on, Eldrick.

Command D,
Please try to attend all 5 parties. I'm asking you to seriously consider attending all 5 parties because I'd like to see you produce one of your classic lists on the subject of "Rubbing Salt in the Wounds of Our Friends" and I think a little street research would do it good. Damn you Command D...damn you and your New York City!
